More news for Zawabe City! The latest round of magazine scans confirms a fourth new Rider for the Gaim summer movie “Great Soccer Battle! Golden Fruit Cup Struggle!”

The film will feature Kouta using an black Lemon Energy Lock Seed to become “Dark Jinba Arms!” Could this be the movie’s true villain? And what of the mysterious new Silver Apple Armored Rider, supposedly called Kamen Rider Kamuro?

Finally, the magazines give us a brief look at the future of Gaim as everyone in the series now scrambles for the Forbidden Fruit. Gaim must unlock the full potential of his new Kiwami Arms, which lets him use every weapon previously used by the Armored Riders!

We’re less than 90 days away from the biggest and greatest Power Morphicon yet! Featuring close to 100 guests from Power Rangers of just about every single season, VR Troopers, Big Bad Beetleborgs, Masked Rider, Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, and more, you still have time to pre-register for the show! All you need to do is click here to register and guarantee yourself a chance to join in the fun! New guests were added to the line-up today, check it out below!

  • Brad Hawkins (“Ryan Steele” of VR Troopers, voice of Trey the Zeo Gold Ranger in Power Rangers Zeo, originally cast as the Mighty Morphin White Ranger)
  • Jackie Marchand (writer for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Zeo, Turbo, In Space, Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, SPD, Mystic Force, Operation Overdrive, Jungle Fury, RPM)
  • Ilia Volok (“Master Org”, Power Rangers Wild Force)
  • Mark Musashi (stunts for Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, suit actor for Masked Rider 2 in Kamen Rider: The First, suit actor for Shocker Rider in Kamen Rider: The Next)
  • Ryan Goldstein (“Kite” and “Animus” in Power Rangers Wild Force)

You don’t want to miss this awesome line-up.  Think about this for a moment – 12 Red Rangers, three full teams (Power Rangers SPD, Power Rangers Wild Force, Power Rangers Megaforce/Super Megaforce), the voices of 8 major villains throughout the series (Rita Repulsa, Lord Zedd, Goldar, Divatox, Dark Spectre, Trakeena, Diabolico, Ransik), all but three seasons represented (sorry Ninja Storm, Mystic Force, and Operation Overdrive fans), and of course who can forget – the return of the original Red Ranger and Zeo Gold Ranger … Austin St. John.  Don’t forget that Saban Brands and Bandai of America will be in attendance as well, the latter most likely with an exclusive offering for attendees.

TokuNation is proud to be attending this year’s Power Morphicon as a Platinum Member and we will provide full coverage of the event as it happens.  On top of that, Kickback from our Talkin Toku podcast will be in attendance along with our close friends trekkieB47 and TheCinemaSlob of the Ranger Command Power Hour Podcast, so you know there will be some hijinks and recordings involved the weekend of the show.

The upcoming Kamen Rider Gaim summer movie generated quite a bit of buzz with the revelation of not only Kamen Rider Malus, the reveal of Kiwami Arms, but also of the second new Armored Rider to appear – the Silver Apple Armored Rider. Our first look was blurry, but we have some better (but still not super-awesome) looks at this character. We have yet to learn the official name of the Armored Rider, but apparently the character will be named Lapis.

With thanks to Kamen Blitz of the TokuNation forums as well as our friends at HeroTaku.com! Check out both images by clicking the title of the story.
